Will Pruitt do something desperately stupid like an on-side kick to start the half?

Why not? We cannot stop them

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He’s staring down his decision if I’m Pruitt I’m telling my backs to jump the route if I get beat so be it but I’ve got to take chances

No he isnt. They broke down 1 play where he went through 4 different reads.

Just heard my “DAWG” husband on the phone with his fellow dawgs talking about and how pissed and disappointed he is

I mean you married a DAWG fan, that is on you.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

No way JG goes in the game, coaching malpractice if he does. BM looks good. We.are not good enough to survive making the dumb pf penalties and such....knock that out and we might be leading this game. Need a defensive hold to start or it may get out of hand.

Biggest difference between Maurer and JG is one plays scared and the other one is not scared. There are about 6 completions tonight that JG wouldn’t have attempted.

 

[lifeisdeep]

I will concur that if JP puts JG back in there Volnation will melt the server.

If he does that he should be fired tonight. It's bad enough that he told us for weeks that JG was playing because he was the best option. Now we know how far from the truth that was. We would be either 3-1 or 4-0 right now if Maurer had started from day one.

Time to rock and roll 2nd Half in Rocky Top

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Let’s go Vols!!!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

You better not give him any tonight

I can’t upvote this post enough

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Ga has punted once, correct?

Twice I think

 

[chuckb1448]

I'm pleased with the most part in the first half. Shamberger or however you spell it should tackle when given the opportunity and Cimaglia just proved to me he is human. Hoping for a great second half

[tnvols72]

We know Tn can move the ball on Ga and then the D just cant get a stop.

 

[GhostVol]

Why can't I like this 40 bajillion times??

 

[I4Vols]

No other team even comes close to the hatred I have for Florida.

Remember history and practice it everyday by hating bama the most

The way his defense is playing.... Why not?

 

[Dudleys87]

I know we had a back and forth about this during the week on the prediction for the game. There is a lot of positives. BM has played well. I think Chaney has called largely a good game to date. We are closer to UGA athletically than most think we are. The downside is we still are inept to start and end halves while we hold our own for a majority of the half.

We’ve got short comings on D that’s a fact but depth is playing a part here. We’ve also got breakdowns as well. I’m by no means upset with the team. They’re still in this and it isn’t over by far

 

[BreatheUT]

We are just not good enough on defense to win these types of games. We do see with better QB play we can score.

Every offense won't be as good as Georgia.

If we can keep improving on offense from here then we'll have some success. There appears to be some hope but we'll have to see it on a more consistent basis.

I hope we can finish this well but the defense hasn't really stopped Georgia and sometimes the plays look like the BS we've seen all season. The confusion lining up is inexcusable. I'm not sure I like Ansley and he can't recruit he needs to go.

 

[Zues1]

Only way he sees the field is if Maurer gets hurt or has to come out a play because his helmet gets knocked off.

" If a helmet gets knocked off" BM looks like he has his helmet secure. Can we duck tape some of the other guys helmets on. It's ridiculous.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Jesus the defense has already allowed 354 yards. They may set a school record tonight against us.

 

[volfannbama]

I think we are closer than a lot of people thought. Just look at your thread with score predictions. If we have any chance in second half, we have to force 2 turnovers.

We have looked alot better. What concerns me is if we can do it consistently....last yearwe played great against auburn and couldnt keep it up. We keep this up and we are.ok

 

[GVol1966]

No matter what happens the rest of this game,I believe we might be able to beat Uk or Vandy with MAURER at QB and if the rest of the team actually comes to play

 

[Behr]

Absolutely not, but we're in a tough spot, especially with them getting the ball to start the second half. A turnover deep in their own territory would be nice.

I'll be happy as a pig in sheet if we just keep'um on their toes 30 more minutes. I'll take that into the MSU game and have a couple of good weeks of Tennessee Football.

If we get lucky and win? You gonna need to turn your head for an hour or two.

 

[Switch 625]

We need to continue to try to run the ball. We had some moderate success in the first half. Hope Chaney doesn’t abandon the run game too quickly, as he has a tendency to do.

 

[Dudleys87]

No he isnt. They broke down 1 play where he went through 4 different reads.

Watch the back shoulder throw he never moved off

 

[lifeisdeep]

Is it just me, but do the SEC refs always get involved (in a bad way) when TN has a little momentum?

I've noticed the announcers will sometimes point out obvious, missed calls or questionable calls against the VOLS. Anyone else think we're getting screwed?

I thought the same thing. It was almost as though someone in the league office made a phone call to the stadium. We got a lead, and suddenly questionable calls started happening against us, and flags stopped getting thrown on UGA.
